“For nine years, our customers relied on one dedicated center for sprayer sales, parts and service,” stated Jason Bane, President of Bane-Welker Equipment. “We started discussing ways to make it more convenient for our customers and decided it was feasible to offer sprayer sales and service in all stores. We’re excited to roll this out – it will be beneficial to our customers. At the end of the day, that’s what it’s all about.”
All 12 locations in Indiana and Ohio will offer Case IH Patriot and Trident sprayers, parts and service. The 3 Ohio locations will also offer Case IH Miller sprayers.
The previous Lebanon, Indiana spray center will be put to good use.
“We’re converting our previous spray center into a technology and training center so we can continue to invest in our people and our customers,” stated Bane.
